Some of the Latest News of Our Parish

seeing your life through the lens of the gospels

John 16:12-15

1 Wisdom about life comes slowly and sometimes painfully. Hearing the ‘right’ answer at the ‘wrong’ time does not help us. We need to be ready and ospen to receiving the truth if it is to have any impact. Perhaps you can recall some occasions when it was the ‘right’ time for you to learn a truth about life. Remember your experiences of growing in understanding and truth.

"In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the centre of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realisation that I loved all these people, that they were mine and I theirs ... There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun". Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander.
